The mayor of Tehran, in his turn, noted that the sides have an impressive potential for expanding cooperation and transferring it to the practical plane.

"Tehran does have the potential to transfer knowledge and experience to Yerevan, and we are ready to make use of your experience ourselves," Chamran said during the talks.
